Yes, just add

lpd_flags="-s"

as a line in /etc/rc.conf.  You could then run the unix command:

/etc/rc.d/lpd restart

to restart 'lpd' and see how well it works for you with that option
specified.

The file /etc/defaults/rc.conf is very useful to see what other
things can be set via environment variables in /etc/rc.conf.
There are hundreds!
